Transportation
Transportation to/from the Tokyo airport/hotels are included in the registration fees.
For those staying at the Grand Pacific Le Daiba or the Hotel Nikko (next door to the Le Daiba), transportation will be arranged for you from/to the following locations:
• Narita Airport to the Grand Pacific Le Daiba (Arrival) / Grand Pacific Le Daiba to Narita Airport (Departure)
• Grand Pacific Le Daiba to Tokyo Dome area / Tokyo Dome area to Grand Pacific Le Daiba
• Grand Pacific Le Daiba to Kyoto Elite Retreat (if applicable)
• Grand Pacific Le Daiba to Post-Conference Optional Tour (if applicable)
Note: Instructors who made a reservation at the Hotel Nikko may take advantage of the transportation to the Grand Pacific Le Daiba listed above since the Hotel Nikko is a short walk from the Grand Pacific Le Daiba. Instructors staying at the Hotel Nikko will arrive and depart from the Grand Pacific Le Daiba.
However, in order to take advantage of these ground transportation services, we must know that you are staying at the Grand Pacific Le Daiba or the Hotel Nikko.
For those staying at an alternative hotel or location other than the Grand Pacific Le Daiba or the Hotel Nikko, please be reminded that you will need to arrange for your own transportation to/from the airport and your hotel, to/from the Grand Pacific Le Daiba (the site of the KEA-KNA Conference) and your hotel, and to/from the Tokyo Dome area (site of the 50th Anniversary Celebration and offsite Kumon Global Forum and Party) and your hotel. You will also need to be certain to arrange to pick up your conference registration materials (including your identification card, which will allow you into the conference events) when the registration tables are opened on the evening of December 5 and the morning of December 6 at the Grand Pacific Le Daiba. Kumon will not reimburse Instructors for the cost of this additional transportation and the full registration fee will still be applied. These guidelines appear both on the event website and registration website. If you are an Elite Retreat Instructor who is staying in a location other than the Grand Pacific Le Daiba, you must arrange to be at the Grand Pacific Le Daiba early on the morning of December 8 in order to depart as a group to the Bullet Train station bound for Kyoto. Similarly, if you are participating in any of the organized post-conference tours, note that ground transportation will depart from and return to the Grand Pacific Le Daiba only, so you must make your own arrangements to be at the hotel in accordance with your tour schedule.
Full-Participating Guests attending the Elite Retreat (who are not accompanying a Gold Instructor) or Non-Participating Guests traveling with an Instructor who is attending the Elite Retreat will be charged approximately $130 to cover the cost of travel via Bullet Train from Tokyo to Kyoto, and will be charged an additional fee to cover the cost of travel from Kyoto to the departure airport if the airport is other than the Kansai or Itami Airports.
Elite Retreat Meals
Full-Participating Guests attending the Elite Retreat (who are not accompanying a Gold Instructor) will be charged $150 to cover the cost of meals throughout the Elite Retreat.
Tours
The tours offered to Instructors on Wednesday, December 10 are free to eligible Elite Instructors. Full-Participating Guests attending an Elite Retreat Tour (who are not accompanying a Gold Instructor) will be charged $100 - $150 depending on the tour selected. |
